Please explore Evernote Diigo and Glogster and for each tool complete the following tasks:

1. Based on the Stripling Inquiry Model, which phase could this tool support and why?
2. Looking at the AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner, which 2 or 3 indicators would this tool support?
3. Write a brief description in a few sentences how you would use this tool to support learning; include the curriculum area and grade level.
